Metagaming...

[Thok]

Two people on this site are famous for metagaming... especially each other.

It's me and Thok.

Coming from you, that's quite a compliment.

Any high level competition will have some amount of metagame to it, whether it's simply analyzing your opponent to prepare for their specific style, trying to mess with their head to distract them from the game (this even happens in chess, see the Karpov-Korchnoi), or just for motivating yourself.

@Fiasco-remember that part of the reason for BJ's playing style is that he

enjoys

it. This is after all a game; part of the point is to have fun.
